Superboy & Spider-Man 2099 Are Hiding A Secret In Superman/Spider-Man

Superboy and Spider-Man 2099 are hiding a big secret in Sean Gordon Murphy's Superman/Spider-Man story (Spoilers)

Spoilers, Spoilers, Spoilers!!! Sean Gordon Murphy's story for Superman/Spider-Man has been billed as Superboy & Spider-Man 2099. With the Spider-Man from the end of the 21st century, with Superboy from the end of the 30th century, and that of the Legion of Superheroes. Except there's another DC Comics future closer to 2099 missing, which might have been referenced. Well, maybe they were keeping it hidden… as they Alchemex and Lexcorp are doing the dirty together in 2039…

Spoilers on… because someone has been hiding. And it's hard to hide from a Superboy, any Superboy, whenever they are from. After all, they are in Gotham, in 2039 and there is the word "Beyond" in the story's title…

That's right folks, we have Batman Beyond Vs Spider-Man 2099 in Superman/Spider-Man. Except Terry doesn't want to fight… spoilsport.

Whether 2039, 2099, or 2999, it all seems to be getting a lot closer and dovetailing together.

Basically, whichever century, big corporations are bad. Isn't that right, Warners and Disney? DC MARVEL SUPERMAN SPIDER-MAN #1 by, well, everyone, is published by DC Comics today.
